Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers who are listening! Hockey will return!
We start this week with the NWHL Draft. Something took place here that you don't see on the men's side too often. Many of the players taken by the top two teams in the league were drafted from their own geographic areas. The Boston Pride drafted a B.U. player, Sammy Davis, with the number one overall pick and took most of their players from the Northeast. The Minnesota Whitecaps drafted their top two picks from the University of Minnesota. The New York Rangers signed Tyler Wall, a 2016 pick from U. Mass Lowell, to an entry level contract. With this signing, it also led us to discuss the depth the Rangers have at the goaltender position. Brendan Leipsic was released by the Capitals after some scathing comments made on a private instagram chat were released. Should he be punished? Was it right for someone else to bring these comments to light? This also affected his younger brother, who was dropped from his college team in Manitoba. Dominic Tiano stated recently on Twitter his plan for the 2020 draft, and we discuss it here. Ben Sexton, a Bruin draft pick in 2009, has retired from hockey at 28 years of age due to concussions he has suffered throughout his career. We wish Ben the best of luck in his future endeavors and a speedy recovery from his malady. We also look at an Athletic article by Sean McIndoe in which he makes a case for re-opening the trade market. Lots to think about as we anticipate the re-start of the NHL season, so let us know what you think and we'll be sure to talk about it here. Give us a listen and...Enjoy the Show!
